Franklin book programs
Franklin Publications was officially incorporated in the state of New York on June 5, 1952 as a nonprofit membership corporation for publication and translation of American books to native languages for distribution abroad. A group of American publishers, librarians and educators who were concerned with the state of education in developing countries founded the organization and named it after America's first book publisher, Benjamin Franklin. This group hoped that by facilitating and encouraging the publication and reading of American books in translation, international ties would be strengthened. Franklin's official purpose as stated in its certificate of incorporation was to.....
"The 1960s were a tumultuous time for Franklin. It continued to grow, expanding its programs to Africa and South America, but soon found itself in serious financial jeopardy. It began to redirect its activities from direct operational projects toward educational development. Specifically, it began to focus more on developing libraries and literacy campaigns, producing encyclopedias and dictionaries, developing textbooks, conducting training seminars in book publishing and writers' workshops, and technical assistance in printing, publishing and book selling. This redefinition also extended to a name change. Franklin Publications became Franklin Book Programs in 1964. The board felt the name Franklin Publications sounded too commercial and gave the impression it was a competitor to publishers. The organization's original name also failed to show its emphasis on books and that it was an international program."

We embrace plurality, respect divergent viewpoints, and are committed to understanding the rich spectrum of experiences that comprise our community.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at Bard seeks to materialize our commitment to plurality, dialogue, and rigorous study. We strive to create a learning environment that upholds the College’s mission to meaningfully include the voices, works, and ideas of communities and cultures historically marginalized in liberal arts and sciences education. DEI at Bard aims to work at the systemic as well as the interpersonal level to address the implicit and explicit ways racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and religious discrimination impact the learning process.

Scholarly Networks Security Initiative (SNSI): working together to combat the threat of cybercrime
Cybercrime is a huge threat to the entire scholarly ecosystem and safeguarding data and privacy is paramount. Higher education institutions need protection from cyber-attacks. Their data and their users’ data must be protected.
Researchers need confidence that research they are using is correct, up to date and properly connected to the scientific record.
Cybersecurity isn’t just an issue for publishers. It isn’t just a challenge for librarians. It is not just an obstacle for institutions or nuisance for researchers. This is an issue for all of us, and a ...
Scholarly Networks Security Initiative (SNSI) brings together publishers and institutions to solve cyber-challenges threatening the integrity of the scientific record, scholarly systems and the safety of personal data.
Members include large and small publishers, learned societies and university presses and others involved in scholarly communications.

Reportage från Rongcheng. Orwellian? "The party is using both coercion and cooperation to integrate the scheme into people’s lives and have it bring benefits to them. “To me, that’s what makes it Orwellian,” says Hoffman of IISS. The social credit system provides incentives for people to not want to be on a blacklist. “It’s a preemptive way of shaping the way people think and shaping the way people act,” she says. And to the extent that people believe they can benefit socially and economically from the Communist Party staying in power, the system is working."

It's not that HyperCard or Director is the answer, but I am just pointing out the lack of really good tools available for amateurs and professionals to use to create new kinds of applications for the iPad. HyperCard was not only used by The Voyager Company; it was used by teachers to create coursework; or students to prepare a report; it was used by individuals to develop novelty applications like recipe databases. We had highly produced, professional applications and mostly free shareware apps. Making it easy to create content and increasing the number of people who can create applications for the iPad could be very important to its long-term success. The web has made producers of us all. If the iPad is just another consumer platform for consuming and not creating content, then it will just be another way to watch TV or listen to music or download information. Convenient, yes, but just another device. To be something different, the iPad must not be just a delivery platform but a creative one, offering professionals and amateurs an opportunity to create a unique experience with interactive media.
Sida 13 sept 2011: "Idéerna till de projekt som får stöd av Sida kommer därför från nätaktivisterna själva. Satsningarna handlar bland annat om utbildning till MR-aktivister, demokratiaktivister och journalister om IT-säkerhet och hur man kringgår censur och filtrering. Det kan också röra utbildning i medborgarjournalistisk on-line, för att hjälpa samhällsengagerade bloggare att nå ut och uppbyggnad av nätportaler. Vi stöder också utveckling och distribution av tekniska lösningar, som exempelvis operativsystem som gör det möjligt att surfa anonymt utan att lämna digitala spår. "
Lynn Margulis: "The persistent problem is how to wake up public awareness, especially in the global scientifically literate public, of the overwhelming evidence that the three buildings collapsed by controlled demolition. . . . We, on the basis of hard evidence, must conclude that the petroleum fires related to the aircraft crashes were irrelevant (except perhaps as a cover story)."
"Bokbamsen er til for å spre leselyst og styrke barns språkutvikling. Bokbamsetilbudet innebærer også et tilbud om gavebøker til småbarnsfamilier som bor i Øvre Eiker kommune. Bokbamsetilbudet kom igang fordi kommunen ønsket å fokusere på barns språk og bidra positivt til barns språkutvikling. Bokbamsen jobber derfor aktivt med lesing, bøker og språk. I Bokbamsetilbudet ligger det et stort ønske om å inspirere foreldre til å lese for barna sine."
"Berit Berg ble den første prosjektlederen. Noe av det første som ble gjort, var å sikre et nytt opptrykk av den lille bildeboka ”Bamse” av Grete Janus og Mogens Hertz, den samme som Markaryd hadde delt ut til sine yngste innbyggere. Boka var så gammel som fra 1968, og da forlaget, Cappelen, ikke lenger ønsket å trykke flere opplag, fikk Øvre Eiker kommune overta boka og figurerer nå som forlegger. "
